Sources close to the matter tell GM Authority that inventory levels across the United States of the Chevy Equinox decreased in the beginning of May 2023.
Roughly 7,600 units of the Chevy Equinox were on the ground at dealerships as of May 1st, 2023, with an additional 6,400 examples on their way to dealers. This gives the Equinox a 14 days supply, meaning that inventory levels are able to sustain 14 days’ worth of current sales volume. As context, a 60 days supply was considered normal prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For reference, inventory levels of the midsize crossover have been dwindling since the beginning of the 2023 calendar year. Just last month, the Equinox had roughly 10,600 units on the ground and 5,900 in transit for a 19 days supply. Before that, March 2023 inventory levels featured 15,000 units on dealership lots and an additional 7,000 units in transit for a 26 days supply. However, those figures are also down from February 2023 inventory levels, where the Equinox had 18,000 units on the ground and 9,000 units in transit for a 36 days supply.
Sales of the Bow Tie brand’s second-most popular offering fell during the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same timeframe last year, likely related to the decreasing supply.

Under the skin, the Equinox rides on the GM D2 platform, while production of the 2024 model year officially kicked off on May 8th, 2023 at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant and the GM San Luis Potosí plant, both of which are located in Mexico.

Pathetic. There is no excuse for letting inventories get the low. I know GM executives are trying to make sure prices stay as high as possible, but with this few cars, GM is going to lose quite a few sales. Pair this with EV production debacle in the states, I am beginning to suspect the GM is losing the ability to make vehicles at a mass level consistently.
We all know this. We also know inventories are low for every other model. What we want to is WHY? The pandemic is over, everyone has been & is back to work, Arlington had a record production month in March, yet lots are empty, What is going on?
I’m sure losing the capacity of Ingersoll isn’t helping.
If you follow GM and a GM fan and supporter then you would know that GM closed down its Equinox plant in Canada and converted it over to the Bright Drop EV plant. GM has one plant building the Equinox and Terrain ICE version right now until GM start building electric version. GM might build both version for a while.
Of course I know that, I work there. When you take a plant offline that is capable of producing 300,000 per year, it’s going to put a dent in your ability to keep dealers stocked when the other plants aren’t used to making that many.
So when can I order or reserve a 2024 Equnox EV 2RS ???
Guess the 2.0 isn’t causing any selling issues like some would like you to believe..
